Kathleen Matchunis

After a career of extensive experience in education and educational leadership, I became a certified professional coach to help individuals experience personal growth in the areas of relationships, parenting, and social skills as well as others challenging areas of life. I work with both adults and teens in areas of their lives which they would like to improve to reach their full potential. I work with individuals one on one and also conduct "skills for success" groups for teens. I work with my clients in my office or theirs or via e-mail or Skype for their convenience.

Recently, I have added academic life coaching to my practice. I help students identify their learning style and discover the study techniques which correspond to that style. I love seeing my clients "turn things around" academically and enjoy academic success! I tutor all levels of Spanish, French, and English, as well.

On the personal side, I love to travel and have lived both in Colombia and France. I speak both Spanish and French and enjoy different cultures. Because I have lived abroad, I enjoy working with international clients or individuals who are preparing to live abroad. Another hobby of mine is international cooking. I enjoy reading books, especially those on the subject of self-growth.

I write a weekly blog. Here are some topics which you may find relevant and enable you to get to know me better as a coach and as a person.
